Pittsburgh Police Won’t Send Officers For Some 911 Calls

[mikelets456]

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police announced Friday that a new police Telephone Reporting Unit will respond to calls that “do not require an in-person response by officers.”

Officers will still respond to “in progress” emergency calls “where a suspect may be on scene, any crime where a person may need medical aid, any domestic dispute, calls with evidence, or where the Mobile Crime

Unit will be requested to process a scene,” the police bureau said in a press release.

However, this means that calls for things like burglary alarms, theft, criminal mischief, and harassment will be handled by the call center or online reporting methods, according to an investigation by WPXI.

The Telephone Reporting Unit will operate from 7 to 3 a.m. seven days a week.

Considering the other thread turned (devolved? but that's just an opinion) into people throwing insults at the two biggest cities in the state, reincarnating the topic in a new thread seems reasonable. A non-trivial number of people will be affected, and it is very relevant to those interested in firearms and more specifically firearms rights. And again more specifically in the use of firearms for self-defense matters, which this exact topic directs greatly, albeit indirectly.
